And so the war on general computing continues. Were you looking forward to ARM laptops and maybe even desktops now that Windows 8 will also be released for ARM? I personally was, because I'd much rather have a thin, but fast and economical machine than a beastly Intel PC. Sadly, it turns out that all our fears regarding UEFI's Secure Boot feature were justified: Microsoft prohibits OEMs from allowing you to install anything other than Windows 8 on ARM devices (the Software Freedom Law Center has more).

No, we are talking about the need to watch what others can do that can affect our life. It does not matter that the same can be also applied to other subjects. In fact, if you think about, it all boils down to a common ground: the frequently unfair behavior that human beings insist on develop in society.
